# Fix: CD-ROM Not Shown in Boot Order
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Problem
|
||
|
|
CD-ROM option doesn't appear in Boot Order because the CD/DVD drive isn't attached yet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Solution: Attach ISO First, Then Set Boot Order
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Step-by-Step (For Each VM)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Step 1: Attach CD/DVD Drive with ISO
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. **Open Proxmox Web UI:** https://192.168.1.206:8006
|
||
|
|
2. **Click on VM** (e.g., "cloudflare-tunnel" or VM 100)
|
||
|
|
3. **Go to "Hardware" tab**
|
||
|
|
4. **Click "Add" button** (top right, blue button)
|
||
|
|
5. **Select "CD/DVD Drive"** from the dropdown menu
|
||
|
|
6. **In the dialog:**
|
||
|
|
- **Storage:** Select `local` from dropdown
|
||
|
|
- **ISO image:** Click the dropdown
|
||
|
|
- **Select:** `ubuntu-24.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso`
|
||
|
|
- **Click "Add"** button at bottom
|
||
|
|
7. **Verify:** You should now see "CD/DVD Drive (ide2)" in the Hardware list
|
||

#### Step 2: Set Boot Order (Now CD-ROM Will Appear)
|
||
|
|
|
||

3. **Click "Edit"** (or double-click)
|
||
|
|
4. **Now you'll see CD-ROM option!**
|
||
|
|
- Drag "CD-ROM" to the top (or select it as first)
|
||
|
|
- Or use the up/down arrows to move it first
|
||
|
|
5. **Click "OK"**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Step 3: Start VM
|
||
|
